Exploring the First 125 Years of Medical Education at Northwestern

American medical education has undergone multiple instructional reforms since the first American medical school was founded in 1765, to establish a more rigorous curriculum, to provide more clinical experience, or in response to scientific and technological advances, to name a few broad examples. This talk will investigate how medical education has responded to different social movements in American history, focusing on first and second wave feminism and the civil rights movement. This lecture will review the broader context of medical education across the US in the 19th and early 20th centuries before examining how educational policy at the medical school was shaped by social and cultural beliefs of the time. Attendees will be encouraged to discuss these aspects of medical school history as well as the effects of policies on medical education and the profession itself, and to propose avenues for further inquiry.

This lecture is open to the public and will be held in the Searle Seminar Room in the Lurie Research Building (303 E Superior), Chicago Campus. For those outside the Chicago area and anyone who would prefer to attend remotely, a Zoom option is also available.
